Price, performance and persistence are rewards of this speakIn the final analysis this speaker is a really good improvement to the sound system of my flat screen TV. Matching this speaker with a Hitachi flat screen meant a time crawling through both devices settings menus. Turning on the TV can make the speaker system turn on, but there is a several second lag while the Sony speakers to detect the TV sound is on, it does ask you on the front of the speaker to wait a bit while it detects and boots. there is also a time out to shut the speaker off...but it works!

Surprisingly good sound and surround.I bought the HT-XT2 model, after chasing the HT-XT1 model unsuccessfully, and as a replacement to another Sony soundbar that did not allow the placing of the TV set on its top. I was surprised with the sound it emits. I wanted to get the best out of the unit, and decided to purchase a couple of surround wireless speakers. I am very pleased with the surround result and I recommend it to anyone.

Better than Tv speakersI use the soundbar instead of my TV speakers, but I do play music on it. They are better than the TV ones. I use my infinity remote. The remote that comes with the sandbar does not allow me to change settings.

Stay away from the XT2 & 3Numerous purchasers of this sound box have reported problems with the product.� See Sony Community Board:�https://goo.gl/CkZqRw� There is evidently some software problem that turns the box (which was great when it was working) into a brick.� Sony has made zero response to the numerous reports of problems.� Local repair shops will not touch as the problem is software.� As a result, when it shuts down, it's gone.

More than what I expected!I was shopping for a soundbar and sub when I came across this speaker. It's not that small size wise but doesn't make your space occupy. Sound is good quality and surround; definitely comparable to a much more expensive units. The sound volume is more than enough for my 100sqf entertainment room. Bluetooth, audio Chromcast and wi-fi network file sharing are its additional benefits.
